In up-class style Akasa has just come forward with the introduction of its Elite series HDD enclosure line-up. The most stand-out feature across this line of external HDD enclosures is the soft leather finish which is further complimented by an aluminum body with brushed aluminum fascia panels and polished edges.

Two enclosures are on offer; catering to both types of HDD sizes, there's the 2.5-inch AK-IC009-BK and 3.5-inch AK-IC010-BK, measuring 136x80x16mm and 187x123x33mm respectively. Both units have connectivity for USB and eSATA.

A third accompanying product also makes its way into the Elite series, this being an external card reader which in Elite style also comes wrapped in the same grade leather. Using USB2.0 connectivity, the reader can access all types of memory cards as well as having SIM and Smart Card support.
